Case by Case basis. We will support you with your application

From here to enrolled — your six steps
1. Check your eligibility — the criteria above, plus our entry requirements in the Student Entry Procedure on our website.
2. Apply to enrol — submit your application with your evidence of identity, citizenship or residency, and academic suitability.
3. Complete your entry assessment — if you’re relying on an LLN assessment, we’ll arrange it and give you your results promptly.
4. Enrol — before you enrol we’ll give you full written information about your fees, the loan and your rights; once enrolled you’ll receive your Statement of Covered Fees and Fee Notice. Fees listed as covered by your loan can never be charged to you personally.
5. Apply for your VET Student Loan — we set up your eCAF and the system emails you your login. Complete and submit it no earlier than 2 business days after you enrol, and by 11:59 pm AEST on or before the census day of the first unit you want the loan to cover.
6. Start studying. During your course you’ll confirm you’re still studying via short progression forms (about every 4 months) —completing them keeps your loan active. Before each census day you’ll get a Fee Notice showing exactly what you’re being charged, and within 28 days after each census day, a Commonwealth Assistance Notice confirming your loan amount and debt. If anything in a notice is wrong, you have the right to have it corrected.
